That smile makes it worth every penny xxx

Fantastic!!! Makes it all worthwhile.

How was the temperature?

[Doofus]

I think a budget (and schedule) update might be interesting, either now that you're nearly finished, or once you are.

Superb attitude, ambition and work! Massive kudos & congratulations to all involved!

Now I've sorted my mankini and inflated my arm-bands, what time are we supposed to arrive today?

Do keep up... most of us have been forming a quiet queue in the bushes waiting for Julian to say 'ready'

Thanks! The temperature was certainly not the 32 degrees the read out said it was, perhaps 27 degrees tops. I need to get them back for some other things so I'll get that sorted too. She didn't seem to mind though, we couldn't get her out!!!

[JulianPH]

Thanks for the comments everyone, this morning really brought it all home, she just can't believe it is real!

When the paving is finished and grouted (or whatever the term is for paving!) and we get all the furniture and everything into place it will be transformed.

Cheers!

Well done, I bet no amount of money can buy the smiles and happy child you have at the moment + the years of enjoyment you will all get from it.

Simply Bravo.

Brilliant!

Congratulations...... lookalike she had fun.

I've never had success getting accurate temperatures from water in the plant room. We have found the most reliable method is an old tech pool thermostat on a cord attached to the ladder....

27 deg too cold for me, but not for. Kids!

All worth it.

Nice one
Three weeks sounded like complete lunacy to be honest!
You should go into project management.

[Chris Type R]

Excellent news that it's been christened. Your daughter looks very happy.

[StoatInACoat]

What a great thread and brilliant last update You should definitely be in project management!

[E24man]

Congratulations OP, that smile of your daughters is what life is all about 😀

(but I'm not going to let my daughter see this thread 😳)

[Peanut Gallery]

Congrats!! - that grin makes the "pence per smile" equation work brilliantly!

[Zippee]

Fantastic – I bet the smile on your daughters face made it all worthwhile!
Guess you had a little dust in your eyes at that point as well
